Abstract
Description
A transport oil tank with multi-part shock absorption Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil transportation technology, specifically to a transport oil tank with multi-part shock absorption. Background Technology
[0002] In the oil transportation sector, oil tankers serve as the core carriers, and their safe and stable transportation is of paramount importance.
[0003] Currently, some oil tankers on the market use simple shock absorption methods, such as installing ordinary rubber pads between the tank body and the chassis, in an attempt to buffer vibrations. However, the shock absorption effect of ordinary rubber pads is limited, and their elasticity and damping characteristics cannot be adaptively adjusted according to different road conditions and vibration intensity. When faced with severe vibrations, the rubber pads are prone to aging and deformation, losing their shock absorption function. Some oil tankers also reduce vibrations by improving the suspension system, but simply improving the suspension system can only solve the vibration problem of the vehicle chassis and cannot effectively reduce the transmission of vibration to the tank body. It has little effect on the vibration protection of the tank body itself. With the development of transportation, the road conditions on which transport vehicles travel are becoming increasingly complex and diverse. When vehicles travel on these roads, they inevitably generate strong vibrations, which are directly transmitted to the tank body. Summary of the Invention

Due to the good elastic potential energy storage and release characteristics of the spring, it can effectively absorb vibration energy and greatly buffer the vibration of the tank body.
[0008] Preferably, the outer wall of the support plate is arranged in a circumferential array along the outer wall of the tank, the passive slider is arranged in a linear array along the outer wall of the support plate, the inner wall of the passive slider is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support plate by bolts, multiple support plates are distributed in a circumferential array along the tank, and each support plate has a passive slider connected to a compression spring in a linear array at its bottom, which is finally connected to a base fixed to the transport vehicle.
[0009] Preferably, the bottom end of the compression spring is fixedly connected to a base, and the inner wall of the base is fixedly connected to the transport vehicle by bolts. The outer wall of the passive slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the base. When the vehicle is traveling on a bumpy road, the impact force generated by the vibration of the tank is first transmitted to the support plate, and the passive slider then slides in the base, and the compression spring is compressed and deformed by force.
[0010] Preferably, the adjustment device includes a connecting block, the inner wall of which is rotatably connected to a ball joint, the outer wall of which is arranged in a circumferential array along the outer wall of the tank, and the end of the connecting block away from the ball joint is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support plate.

[0011] Preferably, the ball joint is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped plate via a round rod, and the round rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the ball joint. The end of the arc-shaped plate away from the round rod contacts the outer wall of the tank. The ball joint can rotate flexibly, allowing the arc-shaped plate connected to it to fit tightly against the tank and adjust its position according to changes in the tank's posture. Under complex road conditions such as vehicle turns, uphill / downhill driving, the angle and posture of the tank will change.
[0012] Preferably, the outer wall of the ball joint is fixedly connected to a retaining ring by a round rod, and the inner wall of the retaining ring is slidably connected to the outer wall of the tank.
[0013] Beneficial effects

[0015] This utility model, through the combination of a support device and an adjustment device, has multiple support plates arranged in an array along the circumference of the tank. Each support plate has a linear array of passive sliders connected to compression springs at its bottom. Due to the excellent elastic potential energy storage and release characteristics of the springs, they can effectively absorb vibration energy and greatly buffer the vibration of the tank. The ball joints, arc plates, and retaining rings in the adjustment device, through their own rotation, sliding, and contact with the tank during the vibration process, change the vibration transmission path and energy distribution.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Example
[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-6. This utility model provides a technical solution: a transport oil tank with multi-part shock absorption, comprising:
[0026] The tank body 1 has a support device 2 on its exterior. The support device 2 cushions the vibration of the tank body 1 in an elastic manner. An adjustment device 3 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the tank body 1. The adjustment device 3 adjusts the tank body 1 by rotating. The support device 2 provides a stable foundation for the tank body 1. The elastic structure contained therein reduces the vibration of the tank body 1 during transportation. The adjustment device 3 converts the vibration of the tank body 1.
[0027] The support device 2 includes a support plate 20, a passive slider 21 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support plate 20, and a compression spring 22 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the passive slider 21. The outer wall of the support plate 20 is arranged in a circumferential array along the outer wall of the tank 1, and the passive slider 21 is arranged in a linear array along the outer wall of the support plate 20. The inner wall of the passive slider 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support plate 20 by bolts. When the transport vehicle travels on the transport tank, the road conditions cause the tank 1 to vibrate strongly. At this time, since the multiple support plates 20 are arranged in a circumferential array, they can evenly bear the vibration impact transmitted from the tank 1 from all directions. The bottom end of each support plate 20 is firmly fixed with a passive slider 21, and the passive slider 21 drives the compression spring 22 connected to it to be compressed by force.
[0028] The bottom end of the compression spring 22 is fixedly connected to the base 23. The inner wall of the base 23 is fixedly connected to the transport vehicle by bolts. The outer wall of the passive slider 21 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the base 23. During the compression process, the compression spring 22 quickly converts the kinetic energy carried by the vibration of the tank 1 into its own elastic potential energy and stores it properly. As the vibration gradually weakens, the compression spring 22 shows its energy release side, releasing the previously stored elastic potential energy. During the continuous driving of the vehicle and the continuous vibration of the road surface, the compression spring 22 repeatedly compresses and releases elastic potential energy, and the passive slider 21 continuously slides and resets on the inner wall of the base 23, which greatly buffers the vibration suffered by the tank 1 and effectively avoids serious safety hazards such as rupture and leakage that may occur due to excessive vibration of the tank 1.
[0029] The adjustment device 3 includes a connecting block 30, with a ball joint 31 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting block 30. The outer wall of the connecting block 30 is arranged in a circumferential array along the outer wall of the tank 1. The end of the connecting block 30 away from the ball joint 31 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support plate 20. When the vehicle is in motion, and encounters complex road conditions such as turning or going uphill and downhill, the adjustment device 3 quickly comes into play. Because there is a close connection between the connecting block 30 and the support plate 20, the support plate 20 will move in accordance with the vibration and posture changes of the tank 1. This movement trend will then drive the connecting block 30 to move synchronously. The movement of the connecting block 30 is like sending a start signal to the ball joint 31, causing the ball joint 31 rotatably connected to it to start to rotate flexibly.
[0030] The ball joint 31 is fixedly connected to the arc plate 32 by a round rod, and the round rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the ball joint 31. The end of the arc plate 32 away from the round rod is in contact with the outer wall of the tank 1. The outer wall of the ball joint 31 is fixedly connected to the retaining ring 33 by the round rod. The inner wall of the retaining ring 33 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the tank 1. The rotation of the ball joint 31 is like a pivot of rotation. Through the round rod fixedly connected to it, the rotational force is accurately transmitted to the arc plate 32 and the retaining ring 33. Under the force transmitted by the round rod, the arc plate 32 and the retaining ring 33 begin to slide and rotate on the surface of the tank 1. Their movement changes the path of the vibration that was originally directly transmitted to the tank 1, so that the vibration energy is dispersed and converted in the transmission process, thus changing the path and energy distribution of the vibration transmitted to the tank 1.
[0031] When in use, the support device 2 provides a stable foundation for the tank 1, and the elastic structure contained therein reduces the vibration of the tank 1 during transportation. Its adjustment device 3 converts the vibration of the tank 1.
[0032] When the transport vehicle is traveling on the transport tank, the road conditions cause the tank 1 to vibrate strongly. At this time, because multiple support plates 20 are arranged in a circular array, they can evenly bear the vibration impact transmitted from the tank 1 from all directions. The bottom end of each support plate 20 is firmly fixed with a passive slider 21, and the passive slider 21 drives the compression spring 22 connected to it to be compressed by force.
[0033] During the compression process, the compression spring 22 quickly converts the kinetic energy carried by the vibration of the tank 1 into its own elastic potential energy and stores it properly. As the vibration gradually weakens, the compression spring 22 also shows its energy release aspect, releasing the previously stored elastic potential energy. During the continuous driving of the vehicle and the constant vibration of the road surface, the compression spring 22 repeatedly compresses and releases elastic potential energy, and the passive slider 21 continuously slides and resets on the inner wall of the base 23, which greatly buffers the vibration suffered by the tank 1 and effectively avoids serious safety hazards such as rupture and leakage that may occur due to excessive vibration of the tank 1.
[0034] During vehicle operation, when encountering complex road conditions such as turns and inclines, the adjustment device 3 quickly comes into play. Due to the close connection between the connecting block 30 and the support plate 20, the support plate 20 will move in accordance with the vibration and posture changes of the tank 1. This movement trend will then drive the connecting block 30 to move synchronously. The movement of the connecting block 30 is like sending a start signal to the ball joint 31, causing the ball joint 31, which is rotatably connected to it, to start rotating flexibly.
[0035] The rotation of the ball joint 31 acts as a pivot, precisely transmitting the rotational force to the arc plate 32 and the retaining ring 33 via a round rod fixedly connected to it. Under the force transmitted by the round rod, the arc plate 32 and the retaining ring 33 begin to slide and rotate on the surface of the tank 1. Their movement changes the path of the vibration that was originally directly transmitted to the tank 1, causing the vibration energy to be dispersed and converted during the transmission process, thus changing the path and energy distribution of the vibration transmitted to the tank 1.
